Frozen Watch

The Frozen Watch is a ship crew kept in cryogenic suspension against future need for new crew due to losses.

• The frozen watch is a form of low berth travel.

Description (Specifications)

The Frozen Watch: A ship may have low berths installed (and competent medical personnel assigned). If low berths provide enough places for a 50% overage in personnel (including ship's troops, if any), then the ship has a frozen watch. Replacement personnel are kept available in low berths for continuous replacement of casualties and battle losses; between battles, the frozen watch can be revived and used to restore lost crew.

Emergency low berths weigh one ton and cost Cr100,000; each contains four persons, all of whom share the revival roll. Emergency low berths cannot hold the frozen watch. An emergency low berth can hold one conscious person.
